We are all recovering from a full weekend of events, exhibits and discussions. A big thanks to everyone that attended, we hope you left with more information and enthusiasm about your own impact. We’d also like to thank all of our sponsors, exhibitors, presenters, The City of Boston, Mayor Menino and of course, all of the contestants that entered their ideas in our Pitch the City contest. The jury had a hard time each step of the way, since there were so many great ideas. The City has mentioned several times that they plan to coordinate with many of the contestants. We love knowing that we helped catapult your ideas right into City Hall. Small business can make a difference.

We have seen D2E in many blogs around town and love hearing what you all have to say. There was a lot of great talk this past weekend, and I know that the people talking will take action.

Below are some photos to share – enjoy!

Why We Blog

When it seems like everyone has a blog now, why should D2E? We want to share our exploration into sustainable living. With the help of our Advisory Board, we are making changes in our personal lives and in how we do business.


We started D2E because we wanted to know the impact of the choices we were making and how to align our dollars with our values. In producing D2E, we understand that the event itself will have an effect on the environment, so we're making careful decisions to reduce our impact. Follow our blog to see what we're learning along the way...
